Whoever told him he was paying too much for that space/area was right after all. Landlord told them one thing when rent stabilization could’ve capped out on much less
Yes, he is a total duche just trying to weazle his way out of paying. The whole rent control thing is ridiculous also..in my opinion. The government should not be telling people how much rent they can charge for their property.
i just saw a tiktok about this. The person ended up paying 6K over because her apt was rent stabilized and the landlord never disclosed that. She went back to the landlord and was able to somehow have the credit applied in a way that she will be paying half of the stabilized rent until the 6k credit is gone. the landlord didn't want to go to court. Apparently, you can get that information from some agency in NYC and anyone renting in NYC should be checking that.
I think she was owed a lot more money. She had to cover all of what was believed to be the defendant's rent for 2 months. Let the defendant sue the landlord for the difference.
We can't have it both ways folks. We can't say landlord's can charge whatever they want because of "capitalism" and then wonder why there's a homelessness crisis in big cities.
Market rents have zero to do with homelessness. It's political. They have so many gov't and private groups who "help" the homeless they have to keep it all going while they ride the gravy train.
The defendant finding out that the apartment should have been rent stabilized, probably really helped out the plantiff in the long run. Him making the claim in court, prompted the judge to look into it... and now the plantiff knows for sure the landlord screwed her. I hope sho got a lot of money back.
I think he was sneaking in and out of there trying to avoid paying the rent and she was trying to catch him red handed at different times. Her friend shows up and says let's open the together to confront him but i'm in a hurry. She's in a towel from a shower and says ok.
@@ohcaptainmycaptain4829 No I don’t mean being easier to get along with. I mean feeling safe in my home. I wouldn’t feel comfortable from a safety standpoint. It’s sooooo much going on out here with these crazy ass men. I’d have to sleep with a knife under my pillow😂
Why would a ton of random people ask him how much his rent is? Also, how do they know he's paying too much? It sounded like none of them saw his apartment or bedroom, and rent can vary greatly between different apartments or houses in the same neighborhood.
Defendant is all kinds of sketchy. Who cares what the barber and baker thinks about how much he *should* pay? He needs to pay what he's *supposed* to pay. When a tenant doesn't pay on time and then tries to "investigate" *why they shouldn't pay rent,* there is going to be a problem.
Yeah, if you have an issue with the rules of your lease, you discuss it with the landlord/roommates. You don't just stop paying because some people around town casually mentioned your rent is too high. Between that and the camera in his room, it almost feels like he makes a living looking for reasons to screw people over.
Defendant was definitely sketch. He likes to make a big thing out of nothing & definitely doesn't understand leases. He's lucky his roommates didn't go into his room searching for rent money.
The barber and baker was right saying he was paying too much. The landlord was charging them way more because it was rent stabilized anyway. They know the area and rent amount.
Depending on when that landlord's unit became stabilized and how many tenants they had since then, they might have a hell of a lawsuit headed their way. 🤣
Did anyone else wonder if the defendant knew that the property was rent stabilized before he moved in? Who is that friendly in the neighborhood that engages a stranger about how much their rent is AND knows that their building is rent stabilized?🤔🤔🤔 fishy to me🤷🏽♀️🤔
Everyone is talking crap about the defendant but not the plaintiff when she’s an absolute liar! She said around the 5 min mark that she paid the late fee’s and at the end when the judge asked if there were late fees she said she didn’t pay them… so she’s a liar and makes me believe she knew about the rent! Judge gave that twat to much respect!
A late fee was taken out of her deposit, so that's why she said she paid a late fee.... You must have missed the part where the judge asked if she had PROOF that she paid, and she stated what I just wrote ^ * So therefore there were other late fees she didn't pay for Edit: you forgot an extra 'O' in your too
She said she was charged one but also said it will be taken out of her deposit, she also said in the end she didn't have the money in which the judge agreed the landlord will more than likely keep it from the deposit
If my roommate wasn't paying their rent and leaving me to pay for them... I sure as hell would open that door. Pay attention because she's not the landlord.
@janicester I paid attention and she's still not allowed into his room even if he didn't pay his rent lmfao just because you WANT to do something doesn't mean you can there a difference pay attention
The defendant was working it from the very beginning. If he only worked that hard to earn money and pay his bills instead of doing all he could to see how to discredit the plaintiff and avoid paying his share he’d maybe be a rich man today
its not fair I lived in an apartment as a bsf and paid double the rent that was rundown and the landlord won't do any repairs on in a 18 months lease with first, last, and security down and a cosigner even through I made enough come to find out everyone else paid 500 with none of the other stuff
The defendant is a little weasel. He still should've paid his rent while looking to see whether the rent was stabilized and whether the landlord was aware of it. And if he was (which we see now), then you deal with it but don't leave your roommates to clean up your mess.
@@localvega688 that thinking is why America is in a crisis right now. Stop being the problem and start being part of the solution. Victimhood has to be eradicated. It's a scapegoat for the weak-minded.
I think it is ridiculous that the landlord gets to keep the money and the defendant gets away with not paying his portion! I understand that the apartment ended up being rent stabilized but if the landlord told the plaintiff that it wasn't and he's the one that lied why should that fall on the plaintiff's back? She still paid her portion, the defendant seems like somebody who was just trying to find every excuse to get out of paying his fair share, why was he going around the neighborhood talking to people asking about the price of the apartment when he should have done that before he moved in, you don't make an agreement and then after you've made the agreement and live there then decide to start investigating what the property or rent is worth give me a break grow up and take care of your responsibilities! I really hope that the plaintiff takes the landlord to court and Sue's for what she is rightfully owed.
what would the landlord have to gain from not telling them it was rent stabilized? Especially since he was still getting the same amount of money? im confused
You assume she was charged the same amount for the entirety of her tenancy and that he didn't demand a higher-than-allowed rent precipitating her departure. Also, what does especially mean? That would be the ONLY reason he wouldn't benefit from lying to her about rent control.
Whoever told him he was paying too much for rent for that space in that area was right. Rent stabilizing means it’s a cap on what they have to pay for that space. The landlord didn’t tell them because he’d be getting less money. The place could only be worth $1200 max but he’s charging double
Because on rent stabilization , the rate is defined by law, say she was paying $2400. But rent stabilization only allows the landlord to charge 1300 for that apt, he gives her a homemade lease for 2400 not the legal one for 1300. I live in nyc .
Probably makes the much smaller room easier to rent out. For arguments sake if you have a house with two 15 x 15 rooms and one 10 x 10, how many people do you think would pay $800 a month for the 10 x10 when they could have the 15 x 15 for the same price? And in that instance the landlord can say that the 15 x 15 is $975 where the 10 x 10 is $400 making the price difference due to the amount of space you get. It's much like a hotel where you pay more for a bigger room.
They shouldn't have open the door to his room. They evaded his privacy. Judge you are wrong on that regardless if he paid rent or not. They're noisy roommates.
So the governmnetn can keep going up on the taxes (local gov) but the landlord has to eat it if the landlord can't raise the rent to accomodate the taxes going up due to the government saying they can't for rent stablization. Surely if the landlord can prove taxes went up they can at least pass that on.
I'm absolutely positive the landlord lied and told the plaintiff her apartment (wasn't) rent stabilized, because she would've been paying a lot less rent. She should take her landlord to court and get back all her overpayments.
yeah but wasn't she collecting the money from the other two and paying the total...she was probably paying the lower amount and pocketing the excess

You assume she was charged the same amount for the entirety of her tenancy and that he didn't demand a higher-than-allowed rent precipitating her departure.
Also, what does especially mean? That would be the ONLY reason he wouldn't benefit from lying to her about rent control.
Whoever told him he was paying too much for rent for that space in that area was right. Rent stabilizing means it’s a cap on what they have to pay for that space. The landlord didn’t tell them because he’d be getting less money. The place could only be worth $1200 max but he’s charging double

Probably makes the much smaller room easier to rent out. For arguments sake if you have a house with two 15 x 15 rooms and one 10 x 10, how many people do you think would pay $800 a month for the 10 x10 when they could have the 15 x 15 for the same price? And in that instance the landlord can say that the 15 x 15 is $975 where the 10 x 10 is $400 making the price difference due to the amount of space you get. It's much like a hotel where you pay more for a bigger room.
